Summary
In 2016, in collaboration with Verité, an international non-governmental organization, the UN Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially women and children, launched a new project on addressing the risks of trafficking in persons in global supply chains. The goal of the project was to reduce the vulnerability that workers face in supply chains and tackle the risks of trafficking in persons by strengthening multi-stakeholder and industry-based initiatives. This guidance is the result of these consultations
and an ongoing dialogue with stakeholders, including trade unions, civil society, MSIs and industry coalitions.
